little things

my boyfriend had a bouquet of flowers delivered to me at work a couple weeks ago.  i was completely caught off guard as he played detective unbeknownst to me to get my work address in the first place.  he's sweet <3

i'm not used to having living things in my apartment--be it a pet, nor do i have plants, but with these flowers i diligently cut the stems, changed the water, fed it flower food, and they lasted well over a week! coming into work and seeing these flowers blossom a bit more each morning really put me in a good mood.  naturally they started to wilt, and no amount of tender care i could give would do anything for them, so i was forced to put them away.

and i won't lie.. their lack of presence was felt.

i've decided that i'm going to buy flowers on my way into work on monday mornings.  

the things i gained from having that bouquet alive and well far outpaced the little maintenance they asked of me.  what's not to love.

cheers to my first batch tomorrow (:

what should i get...

onto the next one

finally took the time to look at jo malone's line of scents and ended up landing on my newest fragrance.  

LIKE: english pear&freesia, nectarine blossom&honey, white jasmine&mint

INDIFFERENT: pomegranate noir, orange blossom

DISLIKE: french lime blossom, lime basil&mandarin, grapefruit

from chloe --> margiela

hello, jo malone: wild bluebell.

"It's a light and fresh floral that smells like a spring garden with top notes of fresh bluebell and clove combined with hints of lily of the valley, eglantine, jasmine, white amber and musk."

Top notes: bluebell and cloves
Heart: lily of the valley, jasmine, rose hip
Base: white amber and musk

love the way the perfume smells, when i first spray in the morning and the way it turns by end of day.

layering on nectarine blossom & honey also makes for a really good combination on me.  the line in general is overall so clean and fresh, which is what i really liked about it.

loving my newest addition.

ready for spring.
